Hopefully, I'm wrong about this, but some folks may need a new strategy. it's still possible to run Waves plugins, but hosted by their StudioRack channel strip. It's not just old operating systems that are getting hit, or older ProTools, Logic 9 also got hit as well. Anything older than 10.8 may just be too old. I'm imagining this recent Waves update may upset a few.

There's always that point when you go to a mechanic to get an ageing car fixed when they turn around to you and say 'Sorry, can't help you, they no longer make the parts for your car.' It happens with operating systems, where they no longer run on older machines, it happens in DAWs, NLEs, other types of programs, it happens in hardware. Its a sad but certain truth that eventually, everything gets out dated. My licenses were on my MacBook Pro - OS X 10.8.5 - Pro Tools 10. PS: I just raised a support ticket with Waves on this more when I know more. Where you notice it won't work on any form of MavericksĪnd near as I know there's no explicit word from Avid whether PT11.3.2 (for those lucky enough to have it) includes support or will run on the latest version of Yosemite. Also I can see having to 'upgrade' if there's a new version of the plugin you want.īut there's a fly in the ointment in the form of pretty stiff operating system requirements. Where are your licenses - on the machine or the cloud? I can see you'd have to upgrade if they're on the cloud but not if on the computer or ram stick.
